How much money does your City earn from police overtime and detail pay?
This is a good time to ask how much money your employer made from your details
Local media often requests year-end compensation numbers from Cities and Towns - so they can highlight police salaries. What they often do not report is how much of those salaries are earned through working overtime, how much is paid or reimbursed by private industry, or how much revenue the City or Town earns from its administrative fees. Also left out of the coverage are thousands of hours of uniformed police presence on the street entirely subsidized by private industry.
Prepare yourself to respond to such reporting by getting the accurate information from your employer - a simple request will do the trick. Click here for the form.
